Chapter 296: Chapter 294: Vitality Pill_l

On the expansive sea surface.

As more and more sea beasts were taken care of by the joint efforts of the monks of the Song Family, the battle gradually subsided. Apart from a few scattered sea beasts that stubbornly persisted, the rest either died or fled.

The cultivators collectively sighed in relief, tidying up the battlefield.

With a sudden splash.

Unexpectedly, dozens of decapitated sea beasts emerged from under the water. Blood swiftly spread, turning the surrounding waters blood-red.

Just as everyone was confounded, Lu Xuan jumped out from the seabed unscathed. He dropped a water movement bead from his mouth and placed it in his storage bag.

“I just sensed quite a few sea beasts trying to sneak in from beneath the sea, so

I went down to deal with them.”

“However, due to the urgency, I used more force than usual when attacking, hence, all their heads were destroyed by one of my magical tools,”

Lu Xuan, looking at the scholarly cultivator Song Yu approaching from the distance, made up a reason casually, explaining.

“Uncle Lu, we owe you much for the effort. If it weren’t for you, we would have lost a lot of Void Nether Spirit Fish.”

Song Yu quickly responded.

“How did the monks of the Song Family fare in this sea beast attack?”

“Overall, it’s not too bad. Under such a multitude of sea beast attacks, almost twenty people got injured. Five of them seriously, needing proper treatment and recuperation for a while.”

“Additionally, a Qi Cultivation Fifth Level cultivator accidentally died. At that time, he and several others were besieged by over ten second-grade sea beasts. One of them suddenly became incredibly ferocious, attacking with reckless abandon. I couldn’t save him in time, which led to the sacrifice of the clan’s disciple.”

Song Yu hung his head and said, a hint of guilt in his voice.

At the same time, he felt incredibly fortunate.

This sudden attack by hundreds of sea beasts who had come hunting for Void Nether Spirit Fish would have normally resulted in casualties ten times worse than now. Furthermore, a large amount of Void Nether Spirit Fish would’ve also been lost.

It was due to Lu Xuan, a foundation establishment cultivator, who managed to suppress the aggression of the sea beasts and alleviate the problem easily.

Thinking of this, Song Yu and the rest of the Song Family cultivators looked at Lu Xuan with strong gratitude in their eyes.

“The injured cultivators should be well cared for. As for the sacrificed disciple, his family must be properly taken care of.”

Lu Xuan instructed Song Yu.

“Also, these demon beast corpses should be properly processed. They should be able to sell for some spirit stones.”

“Yes, Uncle Lu! I will take care of all the matters as soon as possible.”

“I’ll also use people to process the demon beasts right away, sell them in exchange for spirit stones, and then bring you your share.”

Song Yu, understanding his unspoken meaning, immediately assured Lu Xuan.

They had more than two hundred demon beast corpses left behind. It was not possible to hand all their spirit stones to Lu Xuan but they would certainly not deny him his share.

“Good, I am relieved then.”

Nodding satisfactorily, Lu Xuan had exerted considerable effort in the process of dealing with the sea beast invasion. If he were to give away these demon beast corpses for nothing, it wouldn’t be consistent with his character.

He was not greedy, but he would not permit himself to suffer loss either.

After patrolling around the water area to confirm there were no more sea beasts, Lu Xuan returned to his own courtyard.

Though the spirit field in his courtyard was not protected with a high-grade formation like the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, Lu Xuan had set up a second-grade formation as defense, which was considered quite good on Void Nether Island.

Ignoring the need for rest, he deactivated the array and headed straight to the central area of the spiritual field.

The Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree and the remaining two Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms were separately allocated a section, isolated from the other regular spirit plants.

Lu Xuan approached the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

Aged and as wrinkled as human skin, countless eyes on the tree trunk slowly opened and rebelliously stared coldly at Lu Xuan, slowly moving along the trunk.

Wherever Lu Xuan went, pupils followed him, always fixating on him.

Under the gaze of the many strange eyes, Lu Xuan’s consciousness had a sense of wandering and losing himself.

A cool sensation emanated from the Immaculate Jade on his neck, and his mind cleared immediately.

“Watch wherever I go, and I’ll report you for *harassment.”

Rebuking aloud, Lu Xuan took out dozens of fresh sea beast eyes from his storage bag and threw them at the old tree body of the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree.

“Freshly off the stove they may not be of high grade, but they do boast a distinctive regional taste.”

Dozens of almost transparent thin tentacles shot out from the pupils, capturing the sea beast eyes and bringing them close to the mysterious pupils to savour.

“A fourth grade Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, the first one that is about to mature into a fourth-grade spirit plant, I wonder what kind of light cluster reward it will reveal.”

Seeing the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree savoring the fresh eyes of sea beasts, Lu Xuan was filled with anticipation.

He turned his gaze to the two Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms not far away.

Concentrating his spirit, he noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar underneath one of them was already full.

“Another one has fully matured.”

Lu Xuan glanced at the emerging face formed by bizarre patterns at the top of the plant, carefully picking it out.

A thought flashed through his mind.

“[Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, a third-grade spiritual plant, nurtured by Yin Soul Resentment, can be used to assist in cultivation of some peculiar formula methods, speeding up cultivation.]”

He put the good quality Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom into his storage bag, focusing all his attention on the light cluster that quietly appeared on the ground.

The light cluster flickered slightly, exuding a faint cold Yin Qj.

Upon touching it lightly, the white light group turned into countless spots of light. The lights formed a faintly visible grotesque face, which instantly drilled into Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought flashed through his mind, and in Lu Xuan’s hand appeared a round pill.

The pill was the size of a pigeon’s egg and off-white. Holding it in his hand, he could feel a pure Yin Qj. The patterns on the pill were strange, as if they were constantly squirming.

Lu Xuan put his consciousness on the pill, and in an instant, he knew all the relevant information.

“[Vitality Pill, afourth-grade elixir, concocted from various extreme Yin materials. It contains a lot of pure Yin Qi, which is a great tonic for many Yin beasts and Demon Envoys. After being taken by Ghost Cultivators who practice the corresponding Cultivation Technique, it can greatly enhance the spiritual power within their body. ]”

“Fourth grade elixir, it’s just a shame it’s a bit weird and doesn’t suit me at the moment.”

Lu Xuan thought privately, he didn’t raise any Yin beasts, and his spiritual power was unbiased. If he hurriedly took this fourth-grade Vitality Pill, it might have the opposite effect.

“However, for some Evil Cultivators, this Vitality Pill is a top-notch elixir. I have to find an opportunity to sell it and exchange it for some other useful items.”

With this in mind, he turned his gaze to the only remaining Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom.

The five dormant Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms that he dug from the Secret Land have now matured four times.

Perhaps because most of the time was spent on breeding higher ranks and due to the rarity of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushrooms’ species, the rewards from the four white light clusters were excellent.

There were two plants that gave him Four-level Magical Tools called the Soul Lantern. One plant yielded a Four-level Magical Tool called the Thousand Masks, and just recently, a plant yielded a Fourth-grade Vitality Pill.

The only regret was that the Underworld Spiritual Plant’s light cluster rewards also carried a strong Underworld attribute. Except for the Thousand Masks, both the Soul Lantern and the Vitality Pill were unsuitable for his use.
